125. Two Celebrated Verses by Sternhold and Hopkins set to Music

The Lord descended from above,
and bowed the heavens most high,
bowed the heavens most high
and underneath his feet he cast
the darkness, the darkness of the sky.
The Lord descended from above
and bowed the heavens most high,
bowed the heavens most high,
and underneath his feat he cast
the darkness, the darkness of the sky.

On cherubs & on cherubims
full royally he rode,
on cherubs and on cherubims
full royally he rode, he rode,
on cherubs and on cherubims
full royally he rode,
and on the wings of mighty winds
came flying all abroad,
on the wings of mighty winds,
on cherubs and on cherubims
full royally he rode,
and on the wings of mighty winds
came flying all abroad.
